A novel application of strain sonoelastography can detect changes in Achilles tendon elasticity during isometric contractions of increasing intensity

Abstract Background Mechanical and morphological properties of the Achilles tendon are altered in disease and in response to changes in mechanical loading. In the last few years different ultrasound based technologies have been used to detect tendon mechanical properties changes mainly in resting co...
